Woody, welcome to the forum.
I think a story which didn't start with "Shockingly, I got the job!" would be a refreshing change.
As for "Not detailing every game you play," there's infinite varieties of detail-level. I aim for about a paragraph-per-goal... while
Faramir goes for a paragraph-per-match; we both have big audiences. I could certainly imagine a workable style which "glossed over" weeks at a time, then "slowed down" for key matches or off-the-pitch moments.
One thing I've really liked is
Terk's style, which I think you can get a feel for from the first three posts of the page linked to - he touches on every result descriptively, but some get lumped into the same paragraph, and others get called out in several-paragraph detail.. but every month ends in a month summary with all the results and goalscorers, so its very easy to "keep the plot" when you return to the thread for his most recent update.
